Comments

My students liked it a lot. They especially were enthusiastic watching carnival photos In Brazi that were projected on the wall. This story was interesting for them. They liked to predict the story answering my questions. The photos of the story on the wall was fun. It was fun that one of the students began to predict the story beforehand but it was love story. Story card ordering activity was very facinating for them. Thank you very much for this lesson plan.
